On this day in 1993, Nicky Winmar took a stand in defiance of racial abuse from opposition spectators.
He raised his jumper and pointed to his skin, saying 'I’m black and I’m proud to be black’.
@OfficerEdith It’s been a delight having you on my timeline. I shall miss you but I can think of nothing better than heading out somewhere on a whim. (I moved countries on a whim many years ago). Thank you for being the very one you are. Wishing you & your family great laughter & joy. Arohanui
You guys don’t appreciate Chris Lilley’s humour but I think it’s refreshing to finally see race, gender and socioeconomic disadvantage interpreted from the perspective of a middle class white man.
Seriously @netflix you think all that casual sexism and racism being thrown around by whoever that Chris guy is on #Ultimatebeastmaster is ok. Cause it isn’t and @TikiBarber could you maybe shut the guy down instead of being ok with it! Stopped watching.
